Chapin, Harry - Mismatch Lyrics
At first you seemed just like my dream
Of a finer better life
Much more than I could ask for
In a lover or a wife
Though I work with my body
There are gentle things inside me
That are anything but tough
There are lessons you could teach me
Things I do not know
Things I've never done, girl
And places we could go
But you only wear your tailored suits
For me to rip and tear
Ah, can't I hold you quietly
I saw you as the answer
That I never dared to dream
I saw you as the window
Into a world I'd never seen
I saw you as the vision
Come to raise me from the mud
But you came to use my sweat to cool
The fever in your blood
I'm not Marlon Brando
On his motorcycle bike
When you call me your animal
It's a name I do not like
Please do not tear my back
Yes, of course I bleed
The violence you thirst for
Is not what I need
Your silken skin is armor
That begs for brutal hands
But why can't I be gentle
And tell you of my plans?
I know that you're using me
Not I just using you
And you're not so scared
Of losing me as I losing you
At first you seemed...

Chapin, Harry Mismatch Comments
God how I miss this wonderful man!
Harry Chapin is a brilliant singer, songwriter. This is one of my favorites, although there are SOOOOO many. They are all amazingly beautiful stories.
I've been a Harry Chapin fan since he began. When 23 this song came out and I heard it and fell in love with it. Unfortunately this song became all too true for my life and relationship. I love and still miss you Becky everyday 40 years later.
Achingly beautiful and poignant song. Such a loss
couldn't agree more.
This song by him is one of my favorites
I have been listening to Harry's songs so long now I feel I know him and his life.
Still missing you, Harry.
Almost hypnotic. Beautiful, brilliant...
Played this with Steve Chapin and Big John Wallace...it was surreal, to say the least.
